WOOOO first 5 posts

I believe that the poles are classified by the decorations at the tops and bottoms, not as much by the bottoms

Not sure - but think it could be Florence Ballard, who was one of the Supremes of '60s Motown fame.

EDIT:
If it is - one of their hits was. "You keep me hangin' on."

Try to notice details in the picture... The hair do, the 5 buttons, lines on the shirt and lines on the column?

This is what we get for hoping the hint would be something that we could possibly make some form of half connection to...

I'm really interested to see how this connects to the game now...

I think the game is a combo from years past so i am kind of trying to make this clue fit that idea which is probably not good...

I think this could fit well with the 20th anniversary theme... interesting idea

Judging by the hair stile, I would say that this picture is from the '60s. Hard to say, though.

I would also agree with yearbook photo. Note the ring on the ring finger right hand, typically where that would be placed.

I also think this is a scanned image. 1st, the image reverse searches are coming up with nothing, and 2nd there is an obvious white border on the top and the left. There may be something on the right, but the bottom does not have this border - someone scanned and cropped this.

One thing is certain. The fact is...this is a water game, folks!

Hard to tell from the pics I'm finding of her on Google Images. I'd be inclined to say it isn't her, but I'm not professional picture-comparerer.

My mom was thinking late 50s/early 60s.

Hmmm... Can we rule out a water game yet?

Has anyone tried Google Goggles yet on a physical picture? I don't think it works well on people, but it might be worth a try.

Image is 252x281 and 18KBs. Not sure if that means anything.

I would say, for practical considerations totally unrelated to the hint, the answer to this question is always "Yes".

It looks a lot like Dihann Carroll to me.

Florence Ballard started her movie career in 1964. I found some technological history for that year.

Computer Mouse

Bubble Wrap

Ford Mustang

BASIC code is introduced

VCR Home Video Recorder

IBM's System/360

Bubble wrap sounds important
